Re: CML / Reply

CML is a blood disease, characterized by a high white blood cell count. Normal white countsare between 4.5 and 10 thousand. CML is caused by a translocated chromosome,called the Philadelphia chromosome. This translocation causes the overproduction & early release of immature white blood cells from the bone marrow. For more detailed information, I'd suggestgoing to www.medscape.com, www.lindstroem.org (my friends web site with more links), and also check out www.newcmldrug.com (information on new CML treatment drug called STI571).
